Petrograd.—Prince WillUm of Swe^ den (the Dnke of Sudermaaia). tbe king's second son. bas presented a collection to the museum at Stockholm which is associated with great politi¬ cal events as well as with the shatter ing of the romance of his marriage. The collection was made ou a hunting expedition in East Africa, partly in company with W. N. McMillan of St. Louis, and Nairobi, whither he went a few years ago, after tbe divorce from bis wife, the Grand t>uchcHS Marie Pav lovna of Kussia, a cousin of the czar. Tbe marriage was dissolved by the Russian council of state .March 20. 1914. negoilatloas having been made between the governmetits at Stock holm and Petrograd. 11 had been cele brated at the nusslau capital in May, 1908, and the weddiug was one of the most magniflcent ever known In the Russian court. All dlRicultios betweei; the two countries of a political nature were thought to have been settled by a treaty signed at this time.
The Grand Duche.ss Marie, the daugh ter of the Grand Duke runl, thf- czar'.s uncle, was cousidered a light hearted girl who cared for nothing but a good time and was not afraid of occasion

Some comparisons between Venus of Milo and the 1,600 Wellesley girls who practice In the Mary Heminway gymnasium have just been completed by the New York World, wblch should fill Americans with Just pride. Venus, stockingless and in her impassive beauty, stands 5 feet 4.9 inches; the Wellesley girl is not quite so tall by 1." inches, to be exact, .'j feet 3.2 inches. Venus tapers from a 34.2- inch bust, over all, down to an ankle of 8.2 inches; her Wellesley rival, from 28 Inches to an ankle of 8.1 Inches. Venus' neck is 12.5 inches around, the Wellesley girl's 12.2 In¬ ches, Venus' waist Is 25.1 Inches around, the other fair one's Is 24.6 Inches, and Is. Tbe World's lady In¬ vestigator declares, "nearer perfect, ' In the matter of those minor meas¬ urements without which no compar¬ ison can really be said to be com¬ plete, she reporls: "The hips of the college girl compare with those of Venus, and the legs, from the thigh to the calf, show exactly the same measurements—thighs 21.6 Inches, and calves 13,:5 inches," By and large, tlie Wellesley girl would -seem to be a charming creation, statistically, at all events.

1 am .strongly opposed to auy Stale- wide prohibition bill being pa.s.sed by the Legislature of Maryland. I be¬ lieve that such a law would be impo6- sible of enforcement In a city the size of Baltimore and its environs. Such l)eing the case, a law of this kind would interfere with personal liberty and create hypocrisy in the people. I am heartily lu favor of temperance. I am also a firm believer in local option. Whenever the majority of the citizens of a county or any porlion of the State want to vote on the question of local option, their wishes should be grati¬ fied,—Cardinal Gibbons In a recen. interview.
What Is the matter wttii the New York Americans? Well, I gather from hearing the matter disjcussed and from personal observation that a vast number of them, lacking In their early years good training at home or school, just sort of slump up Into the years untrained, uneducated and hog¬ gish. Since a surfeit of liberty of a certain kind has failed to produce real men. why not begin a nation¬ wide campaign to give every boy a military drill each day, and my word for it, the next growing batch will he an lmprovemeut,on the present un¬ trained lot.—'From a letter to the ^ew York Sun.

ally shocking her relatives by jumping over the taut traces of cpurt etinuette. As a youu;; lady sbe had spent a great deal of hcr life In Paris with her fa¬ ther, who had made a morganatic mar- rtage \^'1th Countess Plstolkors after an unsavory scandal and hud been exiled by the czar, but the grand duchess had been brought up by hcr aunt the Grand Duchess Serge, the czarlua's sister, and had beeu educated to be¬ come a domestic, dignified wife of a royal prince. Nobody guessed that when she went to Stockholm and en tered tbe family of tbe Swedish king she would develop Into'the most astute and dangerous spy whom the Russian government could employ In the land of Us neighbor and possible enemy.
Sbe, with the Russian military at tache 'and the Russian minister at Stockholm, .M. Savlnsky, gave her government valuable information. The three—tbe minister, the attache and the grand duchess—left Sweden at the same time. Prince William found no trouble in keeping his little boy. born in 1909. The mother apparently had no desire for the child.
But tbe war found the three In Rus¬ sia, and the Grand Duke Paul was allowed to return with his morganatlc wlfe. There the grand duchess, now only twenty-six, has become In the meantime immersed in charity work, being at tbe bead of a committee wblch plans to look after the wounded soldiers wben they have recovered suf fldently to take up responsibilities of existence, bnt are perhaps not strong enough ever to return to tbe army. With as much ability and energy as sbe displayed at Stockholm as a spy she Is now displaying as the executive head of a committee so important that It has become an adjunct to the gov¬ ernment and receives a subsidy of mil¬ lions of dollars. The work is thorough ly organized, the young grand duchess having the assistance of a large staff, but giving her orders in military fash¬ ion through her aid-de-camp. Colonel Staritskl.
Col, Jfie Foster, thei Hempstead Tax Receiver, has beconie an object of sudden and fascinating Interest to tiie Branch, since Counsellor William S, Pettit insisted in The Inquirer that he received the snug little sum of 114,000 for his valued services In 1914. As a matter of fact, frankly points out Colonel .loe, he hires an all-the-year-round clerk at a .salary of $1,000, and for six months of the year nearly a dozen more a.sslstants who eat up something like $4,000 more, making about $.'),000. that must be paid out of the receiver's fees for help. Had he collected all the taxes, he insists, he would in fact have received $14,000, and after all expenses had been paid he would have beeu "to the good" aboui$9,000: as a niatter of fact the taxes were not all col- lectejl and his reteipt« were only about $10,000. By deducting, the $."),000 for clerical help, he arrives at the mathematical conclusion that he got just about $,T,000 for his own ser¬ vices. If the Colonel is right in his oontention—and he points ,t^ thje books as evidence—Counsellor Pettit would seem to have discovered .some¬ thing resembling a mare's nest. To inflame the taxpayers who are nalur¬ ally interested in publlc expenditures, .statistics ought always to be employ¬ ed which contain no "come back." Conclusion drawn from misleading, | not to say false, premises are iu the ¦end hurtful to any cause, however righteous.
The New York Evening Post for years has been a common scold! In Its policy of wrong headedne.ss it Is always right! In its prognostication of political events it is and has been always wrong!—Cohoes Republican,

You may be sure of this: When a man takes the lone trail as a reform¬ er. If there is anything "on" him. It will come out long before he gets far enough up to be mentioned for the Supreme Bench. The reformer with a past never gets to second baae.— Emporia Weeklj Gazette,
Many a self-respecting man refuses to accept public office because of the injustice and unfairness, the willful misrepresentation and the malicious abuse that invariably accompanies his term!—Coboes Republican,
Just the kind of man who. next to a rogue, ought not to be allowed to hold public ofllce. Pride, pelf, public- good are the three impelling motives for ofllce holding in this country. The man who covets distinction for dis¬ tinction sake differs only in kind from the rogue who wants riches— the motive is pereonai in both casea The rogue accepts witoout a murmur any criticism or castigation that comes his way. The "self-respect¬ ing man" murmurs because he Is 'ml8undei;stood." The public-good servant, on tbe other hand, believing he is honest and knowing that his mollves, at least, are good, mixes In regardless of censure or praise, and gives and takes most vigorously. It practically amounts to this——the man who can't stad the gaff without weep¬ ing isn't flt for holding public office. A man withuut courage has no more business in the great American game than a man without conscience. Such men are equally despicable, as your own observation long ago taught you. Colonel H.
If you're a Low Brow of the kind of which David Starr Jordan says "there are too many," and you ser¬ iously seek to become a High Brow, do this:
Buy a Lit'ry magazine, read the Jupe on books, and talk books.
Read the theatrical notice« care¬ fully and lalk .show.
Get a phonograph and play class¬ ical pieces, and talk music.
Get a dictionary, and read il back¬ wards, and people will think you are talking philosophy?
And then who will know but that you are a high-brow?

It is not the nose that breathes; il is the chest. The noee must remain passive. The che.st is the bellows, the nose merely the end or the nozzle of the lube leading to the bellows, "To blow tlie nose properly, " writes Ur. Ft. Harrisou Griflin. in the Medical Uccurd. ''it is best to look at it as a double sliolgiin. tlie nose as tlie muz¬ zle of the gun aud the chest as tlie ail- receiver, the mucus in tlie nose as tile bullel.s and charge. A deep iu-^ splratloii to fill the chest with air, then one linger is placed upon the aia of one nostril lo obstruct tlie pas.sage. with one violent expiration the air from the chest is forced througli tlie open oliaiuber of the uose and the of¬ fending discharge is rauglit by llie handkerchief. Tliis manoeuvre is re¬ peated on the; other side. It is a sim¬ ple, mechanical process, and one that I have pointed out before, but is sel¬ dom known. '

To Anxious Father.—Since that freckled, frowsy headed cub of yours shows no aptitude for the calling of a coal heaver, snd you yourself are so violently antipathetic to tbe profes¬ sion of soldier, why not indenture him to some lawyer, preferably one who hto climbed to giddy heights from the lowly depths of the Ambul¬ ance Chaser, so called. Physical and mental agility are thus assured, even though the training be severe. It is true that this is the only clasa of lawyers that Mr. Shonts overlooked tn his world-wide search for legal light upon those puzzling subway con¬ tracts. There afe, however, reasons for believing that they were under consideration and doubtle.ss would all have been retained but for the sudden irruption of the Thompson Com¬ mittee. The law Is a human Institu¬ tion devised to protect the rogues of a community against Its honest men. This is not exactly Blackstone's defl¬ nltlon, but never mind him—he's a dead one. Seamy as It may appear, it Ls nevertheless a noble profession. Ita rewards are munlflcent, ranging from $5,000 for Sitting tight for three hours in a Long Island buggy to $20,- 000 for instituting a dummy suit, and even as high a*j $50,000 for doing nothing. For heroism, somo lawyers' charges would even dismay the heroes of Balaklava. By all means give the boy a Bible when you start him off on life's troubled track, but be sure to first extract therefrom the chapter containing the Ten Commandments, Otherwise he is liable to acquire false views respecting the obligations and duties of a modern lawyer,

Tlie American Jewisli Coiumittee explains that tlie word "Hebrew " has a purely racial meaning; it refers to a race and to tlie language of that race. The word "Jew" means any one who professes the religious principles laid down iu tiie Old 'Testanieiit as in¬ terpreted in tlie Talmud. Thus, a Gentile who adopts the Jewish faith may be called a Jew, but may no^ be called a Hebrew because he is not of Semitic descent. Cp to'the lasl quar¬ ter of the nineteeiitli century, the Jews rarely applied this torm lo them¬ selves, as it was used as a term of opprobiiini and as a contemptuous epithet. Since about 1S80, however, the Jewish people have come to adopt this name more ^d more gen¬ erally, and It has begun to lose Its derogatory ifieanlng.—New Y'ork Tin\^s.

A Joke is not a joke when cracked in Oyster Bay In the absence of the Colonel. In "Dizzy'.'<" newspaper It is a shameless libel, the brazen boast O'Keefe would better remain in his cellar till the cyclone has passed. There's been nothing like It since the year of tbe Big Wind. Politics must be at a white heat over la the Realm of Seriousness.
The Oyster Bay liuard ian opines that "were our State Legislature com¬ posed of men of the stamp of James H. Cocks, of Olen Cove, there wonld be less damphool legislation and our statute books would not be eneumber- ed with laws which will not sUod the test of constitutionality, and are paased for the purpose of injuring a particular man or men." It also opines that he "is needed more at home than at Albany." The fervor which thus characterises Dizzy's en¬ trance upon the eighteenth rolume of
Battered into ruins by the Big Bet- thas, the belfries and towers of Bel¬ gium may be, but these sources of the carillons so sweet to the ear of the traveller in the Lowlands will not have wholly dleappeared. They are still preserved in their attractive¬ ness in "Carillons of Belgliiui and Holland" which has been given the innumerable lovers of the Tower music for which the Low Countries have been fariious for all time, by Mr. William Gorham Rice, of Alban>. Charmed aa travellers generally have been by the music of these bells. Mi. Rice sought for light upon their origin, their history, their being as national institutions, and flnding none—"no work on carillons" being known even to tbe assistant keeper of the Britisb Museum—he set about the task of providing such a work. "So pleased am I that a subject, so dear to me. has been treated with bo much accuracy and completeness," wrote the secretarial of the city of Antwerp, "that I feel ashamed tbat such a book, the flrst about carillons, had not been brought forth by one of us Belgians." Written with no idea of the Impending disasters of Belgium, the book is most timely and will un¬ doubtedly prove a positive benefactor in the ultimate restoration of their public edifices by this unfortunate people. Already it has found a plaoe in our larger libraries. It may not be out of place to mention the fact, that its author ia one of the members of the New York State Civil Service Commission, or that hts royalty will be devoted during the war to the Bel¬ gian and other Relief Funds.— [New York: John Lane Company.]
